• EU-Russia Partnership & Cooperation Agreement
• Four Common EU-Russia Spaces, including the

4th Common Space of Research and Education including Cultural Aspects

• EC-Russia S&T Cooperation Agreements

A strong legal and political basis…

• Regular meetings between the Russian Minister

and the EC Commissioner

• Joint EU-Russia S&T Cooperation Committee

(S&T Agreement steering body)

• Joint EU-Russia Thematic Working Groups in

priority areas (Nanotechnologies, Health, Food- Agriculture-Biotechnology, Energy,…)

• Frequent meetings at expert level (EU & Russian

scientists & specialists) …and a regular in-depth policy dialogue…

…have led to successful cooperation:

• Russia was the biggest “third country” (non-EU, non-

associated country) in FP6

• Russia participated in 200 projects worth € 2 billion
• For this participation, Russia contributed € 1 6 m illion;

the rest was financed by the EC

• Russia participated mainly in:

environment / sustainable development, specific INCO projects, nanotechnologies, information technologies, aeronautics, life sciences, genomics and biotechnology for health, food quality & safety...

• Russian partners participated in global & regional

cooperation projects which have great influence on science & their related policy areas…

• …

which covered energy including renewables and nuclear fusion; environment & climate change; aeronautics including green engines; food products including emerging risks, health including new vaccines, new epidem ics, ageing…

• I n many cases (including in big projects) the Russia’s

participation costs were fully covered by the EC, in the

• thers by more than 50% .

I nternational cooperation in FP7

I nternational cooperation in FP7 : m ore integrated

• possible throughout FP7
• thematic competence + resources +

management in the same hands

• activities, modalities and resources detailed

in the work programmes, updated annually

1

• 1. All themes are open for international cooperation

. All themes are open for international cooperation

Russia can participate in all projects (!!) Minimum number of participants: 3 from the EU/Associated countries + 1 from Russia Russian research entities may receive EC funding as in FP6 2 different m echanism s for participation in projects in “Cooperation”:

• 2. Specific International Cooperation Actions (

. Specific International Cooperation Actions (SICA SICA) within all the ) within all the thematic priorities thematic priorities except except “ “Security Security” ” (a novelty of FP7) (a novelty of FP7)

Address specific problems which partner country (Russia) faces or which have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest & mutual benefit For these topics, a minimum number of 2 participants from the EU/Associated countries + 2 coming from 2 different oblasts of Russia is required

I nternational Cooperation in FP7

2 different m echanism s for participation in projects in “Cooperation”:

• 1. “Opening” of all activities

The minimum number of participants shall be 3 independent legal entities established in three different EU Member States or Associated Countries

• 2. Specific international co-operation actions (special rule)

The minimum number of participants shall be 4 independent legal entities of which: – at least 2 are established in two different EU Member States or Associated countries and – at least 2 are established in International Cooperation Partner Country (Russia) coming from 2 different regions Collaborative research / International co-operation

RULES OF PARTICIPATION Third Countries as COMPULSORY partners Third Countries as ADDITIONAL partners

“Cooperation”

• The connected traveller in the city, region and world of tomorrow (E.G. CHINA, INDIA, RUSSIA,

BRAZIL, AND SOUTH AFRICA):  Explosives detection techniques

• Smart and self-repair materials
• Multidisciplinary optimisation tools and structural, wind-tunnel and flight testing techniques
• Flow control, computational fluid dynamics and airframe noise reduction:

Transport

Support to regulatory activities for CO2 capture and storage (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) International collaboration is strongly recommended for this topic, especially with member countries of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, and more specifically with the largest emerging economies

• Energy technology transfer - Development of strategies and tools aimed at a better exploitation of energy

research results. EU Neighbouring and Developing Countries

• Extending the value chain for GHG emissions other than CO2 associated with coal production and use

Energy

• Networked Embedded and Control Systems: Control of large-scale complex distributed systems.

ICT

• Network of Third Countries National Information Points
• Industrial Enzymes: Rational design of biocatalysts and enzyme systems with requested properties.
• Plants as Edible Vaccines.
• Animal By-Products: Novel methods of treatment of animal by-products for the production of substances

with biologically valuable functional properties.

FAB

• Epidemiological investigations into long-term trends of population health as consequence of socio-economic

transitions, including life-style induced health problems

Health

Overview of international cooperation topics in the COOPERATI ON Program m e in w hich Russia and Black Sea region are m entioned

Russia

• Stability of the thermohaline circulation (all ICPCs e.g. Russia)

ENV

• Modelling of microstructural evolution under work conditions and in materials processing E.g. China, India, Russia
• Nanostructured polymer-matrix composites E.g. China, India, Russia
• Material sciences and nanomaterials (workshops to identifiy topics for futures coordinated calls) Including China, India,

Russia and developing countries

• Material sciences and nanomaterials (workshops to identifiy topics for futures coordinated calls)

NMP

USA/RUSSIA/CANADA/CHINA/INDIA/UKRAINE: all topics; ENP countries where use of space applications can contribute to their economic and social development and support environmental protection.

• The outlook to future calls foresees international cooperation in GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security).

Proposal shall develop activities to disseminate and implement outside the European Union (and especially in developing countries) products and services derived or customised from current GMES development activities, for instance for risk management, resource management and land planning, marine and atmospheric environment monitoring, and in the domains

• f management of water resources and security. Proposals addressing Early Warning Systems linked to natural disasters, food

security or disease prevention are also encouraged. Priority will also be given to proposals to study the potential for current and foreseen GMES services to provide the building blocks for the EU contribution to GEOSS (Global Earth Observing System of Systems).

Space

• Functional foods, natural products and bioactive compounds from the Black Sea region.

I nternational cooperation in FP7

§ European Research Council (ERC) grants: open

to non-EU researchers provided they move to the EU + Associated Countries

§ Participation of “third countries” to be justified on

basis of added scientific value & mutual benefit

(in addition to the minimum consortium: one legal entity from MS/AC)

“I DEAS”

I nternational cooperation in FP7

§ Marie Curie host-driven actions open to non-Europeans § International outgoing/incoming fellowships (+ return scheme) § International reintegration grants § International cooperation scheme: partnerships to support

exchange of researchers (joint EU+ / neighbouring countries

• r EU+ / S&T agreement countries)

§ Measures to network expatriate researchers

“PEOPLE”

• Research Infrastructure (RI) action is fully open to Russian

participation

• Outsourced research for the benefit of SMEs – to strengthen

the innovation capacities of SMEs to develop new products and markets:

– Research for SMEs. Target group: Low- to medium-technology SMEs with little or no research capability – Research for SME Associations. Target group: SME associations = > both schem es are open to Russian participants and adopt a bottom -up approach ( no them atic focussing)

• Under “Activities of I nternational Cooperation”, a regional

dialogue platform including Russia (I NCOnet) + a bilateral EC-Russia platform will be created to enhance & facilitate

• cooperation. Also, a platform to coordinate national policies &

activities of EU member states with Russia will be created (ERAnet)
